Type Approval is only required for external, commercially manufactured
amplifiers capable of operation below 144 Mhz. As others have
correctly pointed out, a transceiver only has to meet Part 15 (and the
emission standards of [97.317].

Hmm, it is $1499.99 at the AES web site. If it were a penny more, it
would qualify for their free shipping.

Well, order a PL-259 or a Repeater Guide or whatever when you order.
Or you could just order it for the same price at HRO with free
shipping over $100. I buy from both companies, but if I am doing mail
order, I go with HRO.
